Thanks! It's difficult to get to the Dallas Farmers Market regularly, so I'll definitely check out these others that are closer to home.
I'm going to visit all of these. What a helpful list!

North on 75 to exit 51 (Stephens Road), go to the light take a left (Coming from Dallas) or a right (Coming from the Sherman area), go three miles and the market is located in a red barn on your right hand side of the road at the intersection of FM 121 and 3356.
